Headquarters of Task Force 141/ifont face="Book Antiqua"
—Johnny!
He turns around to see a thin girl running toward him. She looks at him with her bluish green eyes when she stopped near him and puts her golden walnut brown hair out of her eyes, smiling to him. Then, when she gets back her breath, she points to John with the forefinger.
—Haha! I won!
—Alex… what are you talking about? –he sighs, crossing his arms.
—Oh, don't annoy me, Johnny! –she protests with a face–. Don't tell me that you have forgotten our bet!
—Bet? What…? –he opens his eyes when he remembers what she's talking about–. Oh, shit… –he adds, moving a hand for his hair.
—So you remember! –Alex smiles again–. Then, you have to pay!
—Now? –he moans–. I have to say good-bye to it…
—No, not later –she frowns–. If I leave it to later, you'll escape. And a bet is a bet.
John sighs with patience.
—Ok, ok –he says, walking to the barber's–. Let's do it…
Ten minutes later, John sighs again when he looks himself in the mirror.
—Do you like it? –Alex smiles, putting her arms on her hips.
—No, I don't –he growls–. I almost preferred not to have hair… what were you thinking when you leave me like that?
—Well, I saw a film and I liked the main character's cut –she shrugs.
—Yeah, and now I'm going to be called "The Last Of The Mohicans" –John sighs, touching his new Mohawk's haircut –.You're lucky that I've got a nickname…
—Oh, how I could forget it, bro? –she says mockingly–. SO-A-PY!
—Hey! Don't say it with this tone! –he throws the dressing gown at his sister with a smile.
—I would love to know of where the nickname "Soap" comes –Alex laughs, pushing her brother out of the barber's.
—Believe me: you don't want to –John sighs–. So, you're in SAS, right?
—Aha –she grins–. I'm following your steps, Johnny.
—What do I be going to do with you? –he shakes his head.
—Soap? What the hell have you made yourself in the hair?
The two brothers get back to see a young man with green eyes and brown hair who's looking at the Mohawk's haircut of Soap.
—Oh, hi Roach –John greets–. I lost a bet and I have had to be given that she cut me the hair… goodbye, beloved hair…
—Well… hum… it's weird but it fits well on you –Roach smiles–. By the way, we have a new mission, did you know?
—No, that's the first notice I have –John frowns lightly–. Which are objectives? And where are we going?
—We have to save a hostage kidnapped in the Amazon –Roach explains–. That's an united mission with part of the SAS.
—Really? I haven't heard about it –Soap bites his underlip.
—That's because I just heard it iunintentionally/i –Roach smiles like a joker–. The Lieutenant General Shepherd was talking with our Captain about it and I listened enough to satiate my curiosity. I suppose that they'll talk about it soon.
—Do you think I'm going to that mission, Johnny? –Alex asks.
—I hope not! –he exclaims–. Ok, you're in the SAS but that doesn't mean that you're ready for this kind of missions!
—But…! I want to go in a mission with you, brother! –she cries out.
—It's so dangerous, Alex –Soap says with firmness–. I don't want you to get wounded. I… I wouldn't be able to forgive it to me.
—You can't protect me all the time! –she shouts–. I'm not a little girl, John; I can take care of myself alone.
And she walks away cursing under her breath and John sighs deeply.
—Whew! –Roach whistles–. There isn't doubt that she's your sister…
—I hate when she gets angry with me, but I don't want her to get wounded… –Soap says.
—I know that, John –Roach says, putting a hand on Soap's shoulder–. If my sister will enter in the SAS or the army, I would be always worried by her…
—Have you got a sister, Roach? –John asks with curiosity–. You didn't tell me.
—Well, you didn't ask –he smiles–. Her name is Amy and, like Alex, she wants to enter in the SAS and in the Task Force like me… the problem is that I'm pretty sure that she would be able to getting it…
—It's curious that our sisters want to follow our steps –Soap makes a comment–. It's rare.
—Ha, in my case is because our parents are dead –Roach shrugs–. So I become a kind of father to Amy and I think that's the reason that she wants to follow my steps.
—I see –John nods.
—Hey, you two! –John and Roach turns back and see a man waving at them–. The Captain wants to talk with us.
—Ok, Meat! –John answers.
—What did I tell you? –Roach smiles.
Captain Brown talked to them about the mission that Roach already was knowing and John felt that the world come over him on when he verified that his sister would accompany them.
—I'll do it well, Johnny –she says to him with a light smile–. I'm sure that I will protect you instead you protect me.
—I don't find it funny, Alex –John says slowly–. This is serious, we're going to fight with real weapons and real persons; if you fail a shot, you'll be dead. Is it funny enough to you, Alex?
—You know that I always take these things seriously –she says with firmness.
—Yeah, sorry –he smiles–. I'm a little worried about you coming with us…
—I'll do it well, don't worry Johnny! –she laughs.
John smiles too but, inside of him, he starts to feel that something is going to go wrong.
Yeah, I know! I know that I said that I would write the mission in one chapter… but I didn't want to get the chapters so long, so I'll divide them if I consider to… yeah, hate me! Hate me for the cliffhanger! *evil laugh here* xD
Hope you like it :3 And I hope GreenGlassNotes like how I got Scarab's character *_*
And, yes! Soap got his Mohawk hairstyle thanks to her sister, Scarab xD
